La esclavitud de la voluntad es el libro considerado por muchos como el más importante de Lutero, y se cuenta entre uno de los grandes clásicos de la historia cristiana. Lo escribió en 1525, al principio de la Reforma como respuesta a una obra de Erasmo, el erudito y humanista clásico (c.1466-1536). Tanto Erasmo como Lutero rechazaban muchas de las prácticas erróneas de la Iglesia Católica Romana. Pero Lutero fue más allá, al punto de desafiar la enseñanza romana de la salvación por obras. Lutero vio correctamente que las doctrinas bíblicas de la depravación del hombre y la salvación sólo por fe permanecen juntas. Declaró que Erasmo era un enemigo de la fe, y escribió La esclavitud de la voluntad para establecer esta doctrina como el núcleo del evangelismo.

Martin Luther (1483-1546) was a German monk, theologian, university professor and church reformer whose ideas inspired the Protestant Reformation and changed the course of Western civilization. Luther's theology challenged the authority of the papacy by holding that the Bible is the only infallible source of religious authority and that all baptized Christians under Jesus are a spiritual priesthood. According to Luther, salvation was a free gift of God, received only by true repentance and faith in Jesus as the Messiah, a faith given by God and unmediated by the church. Luther's confrontation with Charles V at the Diet of Worms over freedom of conscience in 1521 and his refusal to submit to the authority of the Emperor resulted in his being declared an outlaw of the state as he had been excommunicated from the Roman Catholic Church. Because of the perceived unity of the medieval Church with the secular rulers of western Europe, the widespread acceptance of Luther's doctrines and popular vindication of his thinking on individual liberties were both phenomenal and unprecedented. His translation of the Bible into the vernacular, making it more accessible to ordinary people, had a tremendous political impact on the church and on German culture. It furthered the development of a standard version of the German language, added several principles to the art of translation, and influenced the translation of the English King James Bible. His hymns inspired the development of congregational singing within Christianity. His marriage to Katharina von Bora set a model for the practice of clerical marriage within Protestantism. Much scholarly debate has concentrated on Luther's writings about the Jews. His statements that Jews' homes should be destroyed, their synagogues burned, money confiscated and liberty curtailed were revived and used in propaganda by the Nazis in 1933–45. As a result of this and his revolutionary theological views, his legacy remains controversial.
